Mad Tea Party: Drink Me (Bpal perfume oil)

Today I tried out a perfume from Bpal's Alice in wonderland collection.
It's called "Drink Me".
On the Bpal website almost every perfume have text by it (usually from story's or books).
This is the one that's by Drink Me:

There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door, so she went back to the table, half hoping she might find another key on it, or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes: this time she found a little bottle on it, ('which certainly was not here before,' said Alice,) and round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words 'DRINK ME' beautifully printed on it in large letters.

It was all very well to say 'Drink me,' but the wise little Alice was not going to do that in a hurry. 'No, I'll look first,' she said, 'and see whether it's marked "poison" or not'; for she had read several nice little histories about children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts and other unpleasant things, all because they would not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long; and that if you cut your finger very deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds; and she had never forgotten that, if you drink much from a bottle marked 'poison,' it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later.

However, this bottle was not marked 'poison,' so Alice ventured to taste it, and finding it very nice, (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour of cherry-tart, custard, pine-apple, roast turkey, toffee, and hot buttered toast,) she very soon finished it off.

The scent notes that are in this perfume are: cherry-tart, custard, pineapple, roast turkey, toffee and buttered toast.

When I first applied the perfume, I was overwhelmed by the scent of custard, toffe and buttered toast.
It was like it punched me in the nose, and that definitely isn't a good thing.
There was a massive buttery like note and it made me nauseous.
Nevertheless, I didn't wash it off immediately.
I waited to see if the scent would change, and it did!

After approximately 15 minutes the cherry tart note (and probably also some pineapple) came seeping through the buttery scent.
It made it smell sweeter, fruitier and a lot less heavy.
I almost liked it at this point.

However, 15 minutes later it didn't smell that great anymore :(.
I could really smell the roast turkey, all though it smelled more like roast beef to me.
The fruit scent and the buttery scent both had faded a bit , so I smelled most like roast beef with a sickly sweetness to it.
I guess this just isn't my scent.
I'm just really glad that I ordered an imp instead of a bottle ;).

I think I'll like Eat Me probably a whole lot better.
I'm trying all my Mad Tea Party (Alice in Wonderland) scents, to see which one I like enough to wear to the Alice in Wonderland 3D movie :D.

I don't have a pic of the imp and I can't find one of the label art (that the bottle has) either, so I guess this is a picless blog post (weird).
